Some of you know me but unfortunately most of you do not. I knew Dvorah longer then any of you. I am Bernie Taylor and as of now am the oldest living member of the Aldort and Taylor familes either through birth or marriage. My mother was Jennie Taylor, daughter of the Aldorts and sister and sister-in-law of Lou and Dvorah. My mother lived in Buffalo but when she married my father, Edward Taylor, they moved. As children we lived in Washington, D.C. and my mother, sister (Estelle) and I used to make annual trips to Buffalo to visit our grandparents. We would stay about two weeks and see all of the family. Frequently we stayed in Niagara Falls for a few days and also went to Crystal Beach for a week or so to stay with the Passers when they rented a place. When Louie and Dvorah moved to Chicago they would make regular trips to Washington to see us. They would always attend any function we had such as my Bar Mitzvah, graduation, weddings, etc. We were always amazed at how they packed the car with food and trivia. I'll have to admit that Louie was my favorite relative in his generation. Perhaps because he was only about 15 years older then me. But Dvorah was also something special. You won't believe this but just last week I was looking thru a photo album which Dvorah had made about my Bar Mitzvah. It also includes other pictures they took. When they came to my wedding and other affairs they almost always took pictures and sent them to us. She would frequently write little comments about the pictures. Dvorah was always a down to earth person. She knew how close Louie and I were and she would always tell me little secrets about various members of the family. She was a very generous person who always remembered every anniversary or occasion. She would attend every function regardless of how much it cost or how difficult it was to attend. She would also always tell me about you children; what you were doing; and the good and bad. I know that you were not always perfect. The most recent thing I remember in great detail was when we attended the unveiling for Lou. Sonia (my wife) and I were living in Boca Raton, Fl. at the time. We had decided to take the auto train from Florida to Washington and then pick up my sister Estelle and drive to Chicago. When we arrived at the Sanford, Fl station after driving for 4 hours we were told that the train had been canceled because of an accident somewhere. We then called Estelle and told her that we were driving up and would pick her up and then drive to Chicago. Which we did. When we arrived in Chicago I was completely broken hearted about Louie but she made us comfortable and we spent so much time over the next few days talking about her life with Lou. I really can't put all my emotions in words but Dvorah was a special person and relative who we all loved. I took the list of email addresses from an email from Hillary. I don't know how you all are related but if I have missed anyone, please forward this to them. I can't tell you how much I loved Lou and Dvorah. I have missed Louie for many years and of course Dvorah. She missed him much more, but now she will be with him. Bernie Taylor
